I am not sure if it is possible to add a maneuverability section to ship infocards in game, but it would be a rather nice thing to have, it would give people a bit more insight when buying a ship, doing things like differentiating just how drastically different a Manta and Hammerhead can be even though they share the same model.
That or add a note at the end of a ship's lore paragraph if it could not be added to the stats area...
Just something like degrees per second, maybe radians per second.
Don't say make it yourself, I can't.
Even posting this I know that it will never be implemented unless someone steps up, the devs have enough work and this is not a needed feature.

Very good idea!

It's an easy, but long winded and dull job to do so, as each infocard would have to be edited to add the new line.

If it's just a matter of copy/pasting stuff from FL Companion to a form or template, I wouldn't mind doing some of it.

FLstat has that information on all of the ships, but I can't figure out if the smaller the number the better the turn or whatever.
But, yes, it would be a useful bit of info to have.

Given a dev with access to the dlls would need to do it, they have the info FLStat gives you in the shiparch entries anyway.
EDIT: That is; unless no changes have been made to the inforcards since last update:P

Ye that'll be perfect,it'll make it much easier for anyone to choose a ship.

That's indeed a very good idea. Yes, it does require an effort of putting additional line (or 2, if we take strafe into account as well) into the infocard, but it will also provide all players with full information about the ship they're buying, not just those that can use FLStat or, better, properly read and understand ini files.

While this may seem like a good idea,the only ones primarily who would need this info,are the ones looking only for a pvp edge.( Gotta have the best ship,best armor,best weapons,etc...)
For those who truely rp , then the numbers mostly mean nothing. They may have their favorite ship(s),and roll with it how it was dealt to them.

I think there are different turning rates for up/down/sideways. Also things like how quickly it responds to input (how "snappy" the turn). Not sure this could all be summarized into a single number, or else somebody would have done it already.
